Wooden shark V3 for crafting & painting – plywood, 5–50 cm

The children's birthday party has an underwater theme, and the garland is already up. Now all that's missing is the motif everyone will look at. This wooden shark is made for exactly that. It's a clear shark silhouette in plywood. You can paint it, decorate it or simply stand it up in natural wood. Use it for crafting with children, for seaside table decorations or in a sea-themed children's room. A simple wooden cutout becomes your very own decoration.

What changes for you

• You can start decorating straight away, with no sanding beforehand. The laser-cut edges are smooth and clean.
• Your shark looks like something even before you paint it. The outlines and face are pre-marked with laser-scored contour lines and give the motif character.
• You'll find the right size for every project. Choose from 5 cm for table scatter and gift tags up to 50 cm for wall decorations, in 1 cm steps.
• You decide how your shark should look. The untreated wood takes paint, glue and oil without any trouble.
• You're well stocked for larger craft groups too. Sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces are available.

Why this wooden shark makes a difference every day

A ready-cut motif takes care of the hardest part for you. You don't have to draw or saw anything. You can focus fully on decorating. Children quickly have something to be proud of in their hands. And you get a decoration that stands apart from plastic items. The natural material brings a calm look to your decorations – on the party table, on a shelf or on the bedroom wall.

Material & finish

The shark is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif finely. The top shows the laser-scored contour lines with the face. The underside stays natural. So you can use either side, whichever suits your project. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That means you can paint it, oil it or stick things on it. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. And because wood is a purely natural material, every piece turns out a little different. Varying shades, fine grain structures and small knots are not flaws. They make your shark one of a kind.

Good to know about the shark

Ever since the 1970s film classic "Jaws", the shark silhouette has been one of the best-known animal motifs of all. Everyone recognises it straight away by its dorsal fin and body shape. That's what makes it so rewarding for themed parties, seaside decorations and craft projects. The motif works even as a simple outline, without any details.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. The plywood is untreated, so it's best to keep the shark dry and protect it from lasting moisture. If you want to make it more durable, simply paint, oil or varnish it. That way the decoration stays looking good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the shark or stick things on it? Yes. The wood is untreated and natural. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on it or varnish it, just as your project needs.

Why does the edge have a brown colour? The shark is laser-cut. This creates the typical brown edge that finely frames the silhouette. It's not a fault but part of the cutting process.

How tall is the shark at a particular width? As a reference: at 10 cm wide, it is 8 cm tall. The other sizes scale accordingly.

Do all the sharks look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood doesn't. As a natural material, every piece has its own grain, varying shades and sometimes small knots. Each piece is one of a kind.

Are the edges smooth enough for children? Yes. Thanks to the laser cut, the edges are smooth and clean. There's no need to sand them.

A wooden cutout is only the start. The best part is the moment the children proudly lay their painted sharks side by side. And all you had to do was watch. Choose your size from 5 to 50 cm, single or as a set, and off you go.
